The course is an out and back single lap 5k, starting in front of Haigh Hall.
The majority if the course is on an tarmac path, however on the outbound stretch the path is a down hill gradient, which means the return stretch is up hill to the finish.

Due to the terrain of the course, and the incline on the route we would not recommend this event for wheelchair users. The first 1K of the course route is on a flat, tarmac surface, however the last 2K of the course is uphill.
Wheelchair users would have no difficulty on the event site as this is on hard standing, flat, tarmacked ground with some fine gravel. The journey from the car park to the event is downhill on a tarmac path.
